Method

1. Preheat the oven to 200’C

2. Prepare a muffin tin by lining with paper muffin cases

3. Combine the flours, sugar, bran flakes and salt in a large mixing bowl

4. In a medium sized microwave bowl melt the butter and golden syrup together and whisk to combine

5. Heat the milk and add the baking soda, stirring so that the soda is activated and froths up

6. Combine the butter and milk mixtures

7. Add liquid to dry ingredients and stir to combine them well

8. Gently fold in the blueberries (if you do it vigorously the blueberries will be crushed and stain the muffin batter)

9. Fill each muffin case with about ½ cup of the mixture

10. Place on a wire rack in the centre of the oven

11. Bake for 15-20 minutes until the muffin springs back when gently pressed in the centre
